I would have been disappointed in your skills if you did have a
problem.
I could retrieve it too... but that doesn't mean it arrived as it
should.
You do not think it polite to share with Surprise why some could
combine it, while others were having a problem??

Hence the mixture of "thanks I got it" and "why can't I get it?".
Those that can... do... it still doesn't fix the problem at the pointy
end.
The fact remains, the server has a fair spaz attack when more than one
zip/rar is attached in a posting.
Agent is not the problem here. Agent does its best to ignore/fix the
problem.
That does not help anyone learning to post.
But you know that...

Ummm... the mixed white and yellow packets ARE a red flag... not
"could" be.
One cannot be metaphorical about a primary coloured fact.
There's no adding white and turning it pink in this instance.

And this encourages good posting.... how??
People will fix their own problems when they understand the cause of
said problem.
I wasn't hearing that Surprise was totally sure what She did to
"cause" some to get it and others not.
Is it not better to understand your posting process, than to expect
the whole group to understand how to fix your post??
